In reply to Anonymous. Thanks for these details about the property. It is a beautiful setting and one that we hope to see again.

Thanks for your nice article and lovely photos of Melrose.
Hopefully you can return when the house is open for tours!
This is a fact the Park Rangers would have told you:
Melrose was not a plantation— no crops were grown there.
It was a suburban residence.
The slave quarters were for the enslaved persons who maintained the house and grounds.

In reply to Wendy Anne. We hope so, as well. A peek through the windows was more teasing than pleasing. It looks like an amazing place to explore.

Thank you for posting, I particularly liked the photo where you got your first glimpse of the house. I hope you get to visit the interiors one day soon particularly if it’s still contains some of the original furniture. Wendy
